One of my favorite meals is a Nicoise salad because it has a great combination of goodies - great sources of protein - canned tuna and eggs, greens, olives and much more! When my husband offered to make me this salmon version I was super excited! In my opinion this is the perfect meal - especially on a warm summer day! The recipe we found on The Wok of Life is really easy and took like 10 minutes to prepare (minus grilling of course) but overall, a very nutritious meal with very … [Read more...]

I can still remember the look of surprise Kate had while eating these tasty ribs. I think she went back for thirds! To this day, we call her the carnivore because she just loves to … [Read more...]

We have been enjoying quite a few shrimp recipes this summer! Seafood just sounds better during the hot summer months doesn't it? And shrimp is pretty affordable - especially if you buy it frozen! We (my husband) attempted this new recipe on the grill and it is both in our top 2 favorite shrimp recipes we've tried out so far. There is a ton of flavor and super easy to make! We grilled some artichokes as well. First steam them and make sure they are soft enough to eat. The … [Read more...]
